It took the intervention of the Group of reconnaissance and intervention in perilous environment of the firefighters of the Lot to get him out of there.
This Monday, at the end of the afternoon, a cyclist had a heavy fall, more than ten meters below a ravine in the town of Lacave, near Rocamadour.
Alerted, the fire and rescue service quickly dispatched a team to the scene, also including nurses and about fifteen staff.
The forty-something, who had left the roadway and fallen into the ravine, could not move.
Injured, he was stuck in a very steep area.
Seriously injured in the legs, the man was taken care of by the on-site medical team, before being placed in a stretcher and reassembled.
He was then taken to the Cahors hospital center.
